ok im new to geeklog so this might sound stupid

on this site you have a simple clickable navbar
for example

Forum Menu
Forum Index
Forum Preferences
Popular Topics
My Subscriptions
Forum Members

im running GL 1.4 (i think) and i cant seem to find a way to
put my navbar
for example

Home
Projects
Audio
Videos

i want to use your program because its fast and clean not
like the other CMS that i have tested

do i need a plugin and if so where do i find the navbar menu ?
i did search in your plugin area but i did not find any.

becase im fantastica in my hosting cpanel do i need to ask my
webhoster for the menu ?

please help and keep up the good work on GL

thanks in advance

Just create a new block, select left for the side, and enter html in the block content to add the links that you want.

There is no documentation for this as it is so simple ...

Create a new block (of type "normal block"). Type in the HTML for your menu (you know how to make links in HTML?). Save the block. That's it. That's how the "Resources" block (on the left) was made. No secrets there ...

bye, Dirk

Here's an example plain and simple. Place something like whats below in the normal block area of the new block. Make all the other adjustment as needed and you should now have your menu. The html provided below is whats on the left side of this site as what Dirk had mentioned.

Text Formatted Code

<div class="block-box-left">
  <div class="block-title-left">
    Resources
  </div>
  <div class="block-content-left">
